We are right back to where we were talking about habeas corpus. You can never have finality in the cases. Some asylum cases have been pending since 1979. They are not near completion. If we do not do something to close off the process of allowing the alien to have all the constitutional rights of a citizen. then. again. we might as well admit that we have given up the game. we might as well get ready for the deluge of people who are going to come because that word is beginning to go out. The word is going out that the Texas case says we now provide educational benefits to all megal allen children. The word is now going out from the Spellman case that we cannot hold an illegal alien. we cannot detain them while they are seeking to determine their status. So if we cannot hold them and if we have to give their kids educational rights. we have no reason to really claim that we are solvent. we have no reason to claim that we can have a border or any checkpoints. and we can invite everyone to come into this country. As the epitome of a free and democratic Republic. the United States has a great responsibility to provide refuge to those who are fleeing persecution.
